Looks great, my pumpkin and sweet potato are roasting now! Quick question, add the garlic in with the onion?
How many does it serve?
It depends how hungry you are! We get 6-8 big serves 🙂
Any chance you can amend the recipe to include the oven temperature to include Fahrenheit (350) cause if I hadn’t double checked and did the conversion, this recipe would have taken a LOT longer to cook! LOL. I guess the same would go with the liter of broth, although I have a measuring cup that has both on it, so it wasn’t a big a deal.
Hi Deb, sorry to hear you almost had a small disaster! As I’m based in Australia all my recipes use metric measures which unfortunately means those from the US have to do some converting. Hope you enjoyed the soup 🙂
HI Michelle. Just wondered, can the soup be frozen? Thank you…..Wendy
Absolutely! It freezes really well.
I love this recipe so much. It’s such a simple base that I can change to suit my tastes and what i have at home.
